[E] just another man out [A] of Boston, [E] on the road to [G#] try to [A] make ends meet.
[B] [E] Playing all the [A] bars, sleeping in our [G#m] cars, when we practiced right out [Am] in the [C#] street.

[E] we barely made it [Am] up to survive.
[E] But when we [G#] got up on [F#] stage, we got barely to play, [A] people paid us to play.
[D#m] [C#m]
Rocking the band, [A] everybody played, [C#m] and kept playing, said,
[A] Can't this look [E] better than [F#] music?
[G#]
[A] Play, [B] [E] play, play, yeah, yeah, [G#] yeah.
[E] In [G#] the streets [A] of Hialas, [E] we were getting pretty [Am] good at the [G] game.
[E] People [G] screaming [A] loud, they didn't seem to mind.
[E] You know, everybody knew [A] our [D] name.
[E] Living on [A] rock and roll music, [E] never worried about the things [A] we were missing.
